Another bumper batch of walk reports this month. Picking winners isn't getting any easier, with a stack of contrasting reports this month. A surprise were two great reports from Conachair on St Kilda coming in in quick succession! Apologies to all those who missed out this time... there was alot on the shortlist this time - but unfortunately there can be only two winners.

Runner up and £30 of Webtogs gear goes to Ray MacKay for the sheer enthusiasm in his account of his first trip into the Cairngorms - and his first Munro, Braeriach.
But the winner and £60 of Webtogs gear is MountainStar for his account of his TGO Challenge crossing.

Really hard luck to those who missed out! Thanks for all your reports- and also to our friends at Webtogs - these guys give the best customer service on online gear, as well as sponsoring the competition.

Great reports. Brilliant reading with fantastic pics. The two St Kilda reports were well worth a mention too.

Nice one Alan - and thanks for all the detail of the gear - I'll be scared to put all mine under such scrutiny now, down to the very last gram.
